Question

multiple choice question
select the disease type that could result from a deficiency in chaperone proteins.

a disease caused by improper folding of proteins.
a disease caused by inability to synthesize large proteins.
a disease caused by improper formation of membranes.
a disease caused by improper formation of chromosomes.

Explanation:

Chaperone proteins assist in the proper folding of other proteins. A deficiency in them would lead to improper protein folding, which can cause diseases. The other options: inability to synthesize large proteins is not related to chaperones (they don't synthesize but fold), improper membrane formation is not their role, and improper chromosome formation is unrelated to protein folding by chaperones.

Answer:

A. A disease caused by improper folding of proteins.
